It's just more fun to be Scottish. How many people get to wear weapons as part of their formal dress? Worn in the hose (socks) originally as protection, it's now ceremonial.
Our most popular Irish sgian dubh features a shamrock emblem and Celtic engraving in the hilt, a green stone on the top, engraved chrome detailing on the leather sheath, and a real, sharp stainless steel blade. 7 inches long.

Scotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.
As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.
I really like this sgian dubh. Fair quality in a plastic molded knife, gem is secure on butt, shamrock secure on hilt, traditional blade styling. It would be nice if it came with a sharpened edge, but mine took an edge with just a bit of honing. Wooden sheath inserts help keep blade sharp, still (silent), and polished.

A nice little knife that I bought for myself and a friend. Gem is clear and unblemished, secure to pommel. Shamrock is likewise securely affixed to the plastic handle. Blade is traditionally styled and not very sharp. I like the wooden lining to the sheath.
